Dry Hot Wind and Low Water

A stiff south wind is blowing, the land is dry, the water is low and thunder storms are predicted for tonight and tomorrow morning. I'm antsy ....... thinking about forest fires. The Ministry of Natural Resources are in high gear, trying to keep up with the new lightning strikes. Here is a site which shows where the fires are at present: Current Forest Fire Situation in Ontario
Kevin you asked about the water levels and in the last week they have gone way down. The water is the lowest I've seen in about 8 years. Onnie Creek is difficult to navigate but, on the other hand, all our docks are well above the water. 15 years ago this would be a normal water level but in 2011 it is considered low.

Please send comments and suggestions. I will try to answer questions about ice out, the weather, fishing and the Red Lake area.
